Back to School Tech Series: Why You Need Microsoft Office

Here are a few local projects that I'm eager to support all year long.

Help food get a second life with Second Harvest. Let's not waste food that easily can go to those in need.

Send a well thought gift to a woman living in a shelter. Remind her that there is hope and respect, when she needs it most.
